Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Lilacpane at none against SMPRO's shown. Lilacpane also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (75% vs 65%). SMPRO's advantage is ratings volume (386 vs 7) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SMPRO sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Lilacpane sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for SMPRO against 4.4 for Lilacpane. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SMPRO has 386 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of SMPRO's written reviews are positive against 75% of Lilacpane's.
SMPRO ships an update every 6 weeks, Lilacpane every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
